Create 2D sheets with construction details in Revit

In the days of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and digital delivery, the organization of construction documents is crucial for successful project completion. However, construction documents are often overlooked and disorganized, leading to errors and delays. Revit allows architects, engineers, and construction professionals to efficiently organize and keep track of multiple drawing sheets.

In the days of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and digital delivery, the organization of construction documents is crucial for successful project completion. However, construction documents are often overlooked and disorganized, leading to errors and delays.

Revit is a powerful software that allows architects, engineers, and construction professionals to efficiently organize and keep track of multiple drawing sheets. As a database, Revit makes data appear as needed, which streamlines the process of creating and managing construction documentation.

This module will take approximate 15 minutes to complete. At the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • Create sheets in Revit
  • Create sections and details
  • Annote and export to a PDF
